In the same year, Henri Bismuth and colleagues performed the first full right/full left split procedure with two adult recipients. Both splitting techniques were rapidly adopted within the transplant community. However, a SLT is technically demanding, may cause increased perioperative complications, and may potentially transform an excellent deceased donor organ into two marginal quality grafts. Thus, crucial evaluation of donor organs suitable for splitting and careful screening of potential SLT recipients is warranted. Furthermore, the logistic background of the splitting procedure as well as the organ allocation policy must be adapted to further increase the number and the safety of SLT. Under defined circumstances, in selected patients and at experienced transplant centers, SLT outcomes can be similar to those obtained in full organ LT. Thus, SLT is an important tool to reduce the donor organ shortage and waitlist mortality, especially for pediatric patients and small adults. The present review gives an overview of technical aspects, current developments, and clinical outcomes of SLT.展开更多

Notchl signaling can induce astrogliosis in glioma. However, it remains unknown whether Notchl signaling is involved in the pathogenesis of epilepsy. This study investigated the presence of Notchl, hairy and enhancer of split-l, and glial fibrillary acidic protein in the temporal neocortex and hippocampus of lithium-pilocar- pine-treated rats. The presence of Notchl and hairy and enhancer of split-1 was also explored in brain tissues of patients with intractable temporal lobe epilepsy. Quantitative electroencephalo- gram analysis and behavioral observations were used as auxiliary measures. Results revealed that the presence of Notchl, hairy and enhancer of split-l, and glial fibriUary acidic protein were en- hanced in status epilepticus and vehicle-treated spontaneous recurrent seizures rats, but remain unchanged in the following groups: control, absence of either status epilepticus or spontaneous recurrent seizures, and zileuton-treated spontaneous recurrent seizures. Compared with patient control cases, the presences of Notch1 and hairy and enhancer of split- 1 were upregulated in the temporal neocortex of patients with intractable temporal lobe epilepsy. Therefore, these results suggest that Notchl signaling may play an important role in the onset of temporal lobe epilepsy via astrogliosis. Furthermore, zileuton may be a potential therapeutic strategy for temporal lobe epilepsy by blocking Notchl signaling.展开更多
目的介绍右半肝劈离式肝移植时采用的简化“All in one”的肝静脉重建手术方式,探讨该术式的临床适应证、操作方式和预后。方法回顾性分析2例完全右半肝劈离式肝移植的病例资料,就右半肝肝静脉采用简化“All in one”重建方式进行总结...目的介绍右半肝劈离式肝移植时采用的简化“All in one”的肝静脉重建手术方式,探讨该术式的临床适应证、操作方式和预后。方法回顾性分析2例完全右半肝劈离式肝移植的病例资料,就右半肝肝静脉采用简化“All in one”重建方式进行总结分析。2例右半肝均为在体劈离,例1采用劈离肝实质至第一、二肝门,离断右肝管后整体灌注获取,台下分割肝脏血管的方法。例2采用在体劈离时先行获取左半肝,右半肝行在体灌注后获取。2例供肝劈离时均将肝中静脉主干保留于左半肝,右半肝的S5、S8段肝静脉采用同一供者髂动脉重建,并直接吻合于下腔静脉上原肝左和肝中静脉离断后的缺口,重建了肝后下腔静脉的完整性。结果采用简化“All in one”右半肝肝静脉重建方式,2例肝移植无肝期分别为41、36 min。肝脏开放后供肝回流良好,搭桥的髂动脉血管充盈满意,无肝脏淤血肿胀等表现,术后肝功能恢复顺利。分别随访1年11个月和10个月,无肝静脉和下腔静脉等流出道相关并发症发生。结论完全右半肝劈离式肝移植时,采用“All in one”的肝静脉重建方式可以简化移植肝脏流出道重建步骤、缩短无肝期时间,减少术后肝静脉并发症的发生。展开更多
